This blog came up on my twitter again so I thought id share it with you! http://byrnsweord.wordpress.com/2010/11/26/high-speed-rail-and-england/ Some good ideas but I dont think I agree. What do you think?

I hope this isnt the wrong forum, but this blog about st pancras came up on my twitter. http://byrnsweord.wordpress.com/2010/08/21/london-england-part-ii-the-ghosts-of-old-st-pancras/ I found it really informative, perhaps you will too.

I saw this unit sitting at Wimbledon Traincare Depot yesterday... any ideas why it was there/its future at this point in time? All i've heard is that it's for sale.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/6577331.stm We await this with baited breath, eh? ;)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lancashire/6483519.stm I don't know much about this train/loco... is it a preserved GWR loco, maybe Hall class?

Earlier on I saw a load of vintage coaches (Mk 1 and before, some of them looked 1930's or before?) crawling through Swaythling with 73136 on the front and an unidentified GBRF liveried 73 on the back... Anyone got any ideas what this was?

Here's the official blurb: http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/SWTrains/News/_portsmouthengworksoverrun.htm and here's some great insight and extra information: http://community.livejournal.com/southwesttrains/68398.html What do people make of it?

Having just spotted this image: http://www.therailwaycentre.com/NewSite%20POD%202007/POD02_02_07.jpg I wondered how the progress of the appeals to save the CIG units is progressing (if at all). Anyone have any news?

As per this thread; http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=11242, it seems that customers campaigning to draw attention to the seats on Class 450 units have made a breakthrough. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/6331251.stm Is this the beginning of a lengthy wrangle...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/6288115.stm Made for interesting reading... I think SWT may yet regret withdrawing their most popular units...

I just stumbled across these pictures: http://www.mostlyrailways.fotopic.net/c565336.html It's all quite sad really. I wonder what the future holds for these locos, if they even have one. Any ideas? Also, why do the RAF/MoD take on old railway stock?
